Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

    Proposed Projects: Runaway and Homeless Youth--Homeless Management 
Information System (RHY-HMIS)
    Description: The Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY) Act, as amended 
by Public Law 106-71 (42 U.S.C. 5701 et seq.), mandates that the 
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) report regularly to 
Congress on the status of HHS-funded programs serving runaway and 
homeless youth. Such reporting is similarly mandated by the Government 
Performance and Results Act Modernization Act of 2010. Organizations 
funded under the Runaway and Homeless Youth program are required by 
statute (42 U.S.C. 5712, 42 U.S.C. 5714-2) to meet certain data 
collection and reporting requirements. These requirements include 
maintenance of client statistical records on the number and the 
characteristics of the runaway and homeless youth, and youth at risk of 
family separation, who participate in the project, and the services 
provided to such youth by the project.
    Respondents: The respondents are the youth who are recipients of 
services from RHY program grants, which are made up of States, 
localities, private entities and coordinated networks of such entities. 
Typical respondents are the youth that participate in the Basic Center, 
Transitional Living/Maternity Group Home, and Street Outreach programs.
